Kanu State Government Debunks Rumors Of Stopping Christians From Going To Church On Sundays

The Kano State Government has described report in some national dailies and online media that Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje has banned Christians resident in the state from going to church on Sundays as nothing but a lie.

The State government had last week announced the extension of monthly sanitation excercise in the state till Sunday.

Mallam Muhammad Garba, the state Commissioner for Information who made the remark while briefing newsmen on Saturday in Kano said, the state government was very much aware and mindful of the freedom of religion as enshrined in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He said the monthly sanitation exercise in the state was extended up to Sunday, but only for the staff of the Refuse Management Board to enable them clear up the heap of refuse in the state.

The Commissioner therefore called on journalists to always check facts and balance their stories and report with high sense of fairness and responsibility.
